NASA and Latin: the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona sponsors HiRISE, a NASA mission that takes high resolutionimages of the surface of Mars onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Their website -- http://www.uahirise.org/ -- is worth visiting in its own right. But interestingly, the project also has Latin-language Twitter feed and Tumblr, to which you may subscribe. When you visit the site, choose 'Latin' on the 'Select A Language' link!! Or click here to go directly to the 'Beautiful Mars' website in Latin (7/29/14)
